Cry Christmas Lyrics
Mother Mother
Lyrics
Another try not to cry Christmas
Another try not to cry Christmas
The little ones are all but shunned at that strangely degrading kids table
The mistletoe says, "No, you don't need a kiss, you need divorce papers"
The turkey's dry and grandpa's high on oxycontin pumpkin pie
Oh me, oh my, what a gong show
Ho, ho, ho
It's just another try not to cry Christmas
It's just another try not to cry Christmas
And when I tell my eyes, "Don't you cry, it's Christmas"
What do they do?
Oh, they monsoon
And Uncle John
Goes on and on
About QAnon and Armageddon
John, shut up and your girlfriend too
She's 21 and all coked out dude (ha, ha)
Phewf, Thank god John and the blonde's gone
But so is the innocence from being young
No more sugar plum fun, rum-pum-pum-pum-pum-pum
It's just another try not to cry Christmas
It's just another try not to cry Christmas
And when I tell my eyes not to cry on Christmas
What do they do?
Oh, they monsoon
(Cry, cry Christmas
Cry, cry
Cry, cry Christmas
Cry, cry Christmas
Cry, cry Christmas)
Cry, cry Christmas
Cry, cry Christmas
Cry, cry Christmas
Cry, cry
Cry, cry Christmas
Cry, cry Christmas
Cry, cry Christmas
Cry, cry
Ahem-ahem, so the rain falls down and the snow turns brown
And the sun comes out, it's a winter drought
And the climate bleeds and screams and pleas, "Sing with me"
One, two, three
Another try not to cry Christmas
It's another try not to cry Christmas
Song & Lyrics Facts
Cry Christmas is a single by the Canadian indie rock band Mother Mother. It was released on November 9, 2022 on Warner Records.
The single also includes a cover of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Judy Garland. Cry Christmas is a holiday song for misfits, as the band describes it. It portrays a dysfunctional family gathering where everything goes wrong: the kids are shunned, the mistletoe is mocking, the turkey is dry, grandpa is high, uncle John is ranting about QAnon, and the climate is in crisis. The chorus repeats the phrase "try not to cry Christmas" as a way of coping with the chaos and sadness. The song has a catchy pop-rock melody with some elements of punk and metal. The vocals are shared by Ryan Guldemond, Molly Guldemond and Jasmin Parkin, who harmonize and contrast each other's emotions. The lyrics are witty, sarcastic and relatable for anyone who feels out of place or unhappy during the festive season. The song also has a message of solidarity and acceptance for those who don't fit in the conventional Christmas mold.
